Stilo Warranty Question (please Help!)

Hi,
I have a Fist Stilo 03 1.6 16v active.
It is currently in the dealership awaiting a new clutch!
I have done 31,500 miles to date and was wondering my clutch squeeks and juddres in first gear - they advised me that the fly wheel needs changing (under warranty) and the clutch - i have to pay for the clutch £82?
Does anyone know if this is correct?

Hi

Are you in 3rd year warranty? If so, maybe they treat the clutch as a wear 'n' tear item!

However, the clutch judder seems to be a common problem on this forum.

Re: Stilo Warranty Question (please Help!)

Hi,
Thanks for the info!
I am in my 3rd year warranty!
It is a bit surprising that this issue hasn't been dealt with under warranty - considering the amout of clutch problems the stilo has had to date - surely this is a design fault and such should be covered under the warranty

What did they do on yours Bo?

Mine makes a knocking noise when you are in first and pull the pedal up to the biting point, and the pedal squeaks, but it seems ok apart from that.

Re: Stilo Warranty Question (please Help!)

I have some random clicking noises under the car when coing onto and coming off power at low speeds and sometimes its jumpy. Is this clutch problems?
